Plant Life Management - Ageing Degradation Mechanisms Ageing is not about how old your equipment is ita ™s about what you know about its condition, and how thata ™s changing over time. Beginning with the fundamentals, the objective of this series of seminars is to provide practical information regarding materials degradation and the consequences for ageing plants. a To extend maintenance period. a To mitigate potential failures  more...

Understanding Boiler Tube Failures Part 2 Have you ever repaired a tube leak and put the boiler back in service, only to be forced off-line by another leak? Identifying and correcting the root cause is essential. To ensure low availability loss and to eliminate repeat failures, a large number of utilities often misdiagnose BTF mechanisms.  more...

Under standing Boiler Tube Failures part 1 Boiler tube failures are the leading cause of steam plant non-reliability. A tube failure may cause a forced outage, usually at the most inopportune time. The outage results in lost production and lost revenue. A reduction in the frequency of tube failures can be achieved by understanding the root cause of the failure and taking steps to eliminate the problem. How can you focus these efforts?  more...
